Why only for stroppy? I think as you had a good time you should tell as many people as possible about it to encourage those beginers and maybe even push a few others to start.

I wish I had been able to go, but I don't think anyone would have liked me sharing my dreadful cold with them. I think I caught it in the pub on Tuesday, serves me right I should have stayed in and had pancakes.

Quote: â€º DH is pronounced like TH in THIS or THAT - it's a voiced TH, not like the TH in THIN or THING.

Ah, so DH is the same as the Welsh DD, thanks, i'll remember that.

He'll remember that... Maybe if those who speak it add little snippets each time they post to this forum it could go a long way. It's stuck in my head now that 'Y' is pronounced like 'I' and 'DH' has a 'Th' sound.

I've been to Warlinnen site numerous times now but find that I try to take in too much in one go and come away remembering nowt (apart from Mitten da!). Obviously, if you're seriously commited to learning the language you will set aside the time and effort to do it; however, if little snippets help a larger audience to learn a little over time then all the better...

Go on Lys, chuck in the odd one now and then, and, if you can make it relevent, i.e, it has some sort of link that sticks in the mind, even better... My dad was in the police and he taught me how to remember car registration places by assigning words to the letters and making the numbers that followed significant to the words of the letters...

"Y is a short I as in English DID, so DYDH is pronounced like DITH, with a voiced TH."

This is not quite correct. While, according to Kernewek Kemmyn rules <y> has the sound of "i" in English "did", it is long in the word <dydh>. So it's pronounced with the i-sound drawn out to the length of a long vowel, similar to the pronunciation of "eer" in "beer" many English speakers use, who don't pronounce their "r".
